Borderworlds Exports application form 8209-2727
- What is your full name?
Johnathan Albert Brighton
- Where do you live?
Shipboard, mostly. New London is my home.
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Previously employed planetside on New London in restocking and groundside transport for the BMM. Did some freelance trade on the side for a few years to see some more of the universe but now I'm looking for a safer, steadier term of employment.
- To what division are you applying?
Looking to apply for the shipping division.
- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
I don't own a proper trading ship, but I've got the capital to buy a Clydesdale scraped up and sitting in my account on the Net. Right now I'm working out of a scrap CSV with the biggest holes patched.
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I suppose I'd name it the Caxton, after the first man to bring the printing press to the shores of the original British Isles. Not only did he do that, but he made a tidy profit using it too, and there's a lesson to be learned there.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Truthfully it's the money first. I'd like to make a living for myself out there in the black. But besides that, I've always wanted to live out among the stars, and there's no better way to get out into the borders than with a shipping contract in your hand and a sworn duty to Queen and Country to push out towards the frontier.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
Well, I come from good Old Scottish stock. My father was a tradesman on New London and on his small wage I didn't get much schooling that I didn't give myself. Despite that, I've gotten fairly well-read over the years on my own. I love books, and space flight gives me plenty of time to catch up on my reading. I love to be behind the controls of a ship, it's a liberating feeling, but damn if I don't hate some of the people up there. The Mollies, the Corsairs, the Gaians... They drive me nuts. Always after the smallest bloke's cash when we can't even pay rent. Bullies is all they are.
